Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

did not attend the previous one can enroll.
This class deals with theories and methods that help to provide different global perspectives on "Revolutions and Revolutionary Movements in 20th Century Mesoamerica." Singel cases will be analyzed by applying different theories, approaches, and related methods. Emphasis will be given to the Mexican Revolution, the first of the 20th century in Latin America. Among the topics, violence, heroes, and land reform belong. With a view on the more recent revolutionary movement in Mexico, the Neo-Zapatista uprising of 1994, the role of the Mexican Revolution as a national project was questioned because the Neo-Zapatistas claimed autonomy for the state of Chiapas. This example will give rise to the question of how revolutions "communicate" with the global world. For example, how the role of gender relations among the insurgents mattered for the international support of the Neo-Zapatistas. Also, the politics of history relating to the 1944 Revolution in Guatemala and the Sandinista Revolution of 1979 in Nicaragua are topics.
